Description
SANO Stereo Sixty Professional Cassotto Accordion Dear Accordion Friends,
This is another rare and exceptional quality accordion - you know it from the first chord you play!
This very special full size professional accordion was the best SANO model. It was built at the time accordions were very popular and people would obtain financing to buy their dream instrument. At that time quality was sacred and accordion manufacturers competed to build the best instrument. The Stereo Sixty model features the best hand-made reeds available, double tone chamber, and some of the best sounding bass section with low A reed configuration. This is an early 60s model, played and maintained with respect. You will find it excellent in any aspect - appearance, mechanics, and acoustic performance.
Hand made reeds
4 treble sets of reeds - LM1M2HConcert and Musette sounds on the same instrument
Double Tone Chamber (LM1)Tone Modulator (could be removed without afecting the amplification if the performer prefers a brighter sound)
41 keys, 19-1/4" keyboard - American walnut keys, key tops with smooth edges - a pleasure to play
12 treble switches (2 of them are for the tone modulator): Open, Bassoon (L), Accordion (LM1M2), Bandoneon (LM1), Harmonium (LM1H), Organ (LH), Celeste (M1M2H), Violin (M1M2), Oboe (M1H), Clarinet (M1), Piccolo (H), and Close The switches highlighted in blue [Accordion, Celeste, Violin, and the Master (LMMH)] produce beautiful musette sound. The remaining switches correspond to concert tuned reed combinations/sounds. The accordion is very versatile and can be used for a any music style. Palm Master (LMMH) - special design "dual function" switch Press the Palm Master after a musette switch (Accordion, Celeste, and Violin) to obtain a full 4-reed musette accordion sound LMMH.
Press the Palm Master after a concert (dry) switch to obtain a full concert accordion sound LM1H.
120 bass - noise free bass machine5 sets of hand-made bass reeds with low A configuration - definitely some of the best sounding accordion bass7 bass switches combining some of the best features and sounds - You have separate bass switches to play 3 octaves of single notes on the bass and counter-bass rows. This feature is available on the Hohner Gola and American-made Excelsior Symphony Grand models.
- There is a switch that gives the performer access to the lowest deepest sounding bass reeds alone. (This feature is only available on high-end Sano accordions, American-made BELL 4518, and accordions with bass valve decoupling shifts like the 1960's Scandalli Super VI or converter-bass instruments.) This is perfect for walking-bass pattern if you like to play jazz. Recently I've had several requests by professional accordionists to modify their instruments so they have access to such a feature. Stereo Amplification - very good factory setup with 3 treble and 2 bass crystalline microphones. The amplification works perfect. You can enjoy the warmer tone of the crystalline microphones without feedback issues. The knobs on the grill are On/Off, Stereo/Standard, Bass Volume, Bass Tone, Treble Volume, and Treble Tone. For best performance use a stereo 1/4" jack cable that splits in two 1/4" mono jack connected to different channels at the amplifier. This way you have a full independent control of treble and bass and can add special effects to anyone of the channels.
Large volume air tight 17-fold bellows. There are no leaks and no wear to the bellows tape.Bellows protector
Very well balanced solid accordion - 28 lb (Replacing the existing microphones with condenser microphones will bring the weight of the instrument below 26 lb.)Very good straps and case included
The accordion has been recently serviced at the Accordion Gallery and is offered with a full year comprehensive warranty. The pictures below show the condition of the instrument and will help you fully appreciate its quality. Call 973-770-6877 with any questions.
